Fant4stic The "Who Would You Cast Instead" Thread

[lordofthenerds]

Reed- John Hamm
Sue - Abbie Cornish
Ben - Mark Valley
Johnny - Dylan O'Brien

This thread doesn't work because one of the fundamental problem with the cast is that they are too young.

 

[antonydelfini]

I cant cast younger, as Im not a UFF fan.

But if I was to cast older actors:

Matt Damon- Mr Fantastic
Diane Kruger/ Alice Eve- Invisible Woman
Karl Urban/ Chris Meloni- Thing
Sam Claflin- Human Torch

Mads Mikkelsen- Dr Doom

 

[Kane52630]

Idris Elba- Mr Fantastic
Paula Patton- Invisible Woman
Louis CK- The Thing
Michael B. Jordan- Human Torch
Nicolas Cage- Dr. Doom

I just had an interesting idea for a more traditional Johnny Storm...

That's Tom Felton, best known for playing Draco Malfoy. He also had a role in Rise of the Planet of the Apes, where he showed off his American accent and played a smartass lab security guard.

Wait a minute...my fancast of the Fantastic Four that I made up after a few Google searches looks like this:



And Fox, after actually considering a couple of those choices, decided to go with this:

Wow. I....I think I finally understand why people hate this movie.

 

[EssayM]

Oh, and my pick for adult Doom would probably be Jason Isaacs:

 

[DavidTyler]

aside from the idea of having a teenage FF, I like the cast.from the existing.movies. Just replace Chris Evans as Johnny and reboot Dr. Doom. Who will ever do a better Ben Grimm than Michael Chiklas?

 

[Spider-Fan83]

my older, age appropriate, cast was

Anson Mount (40) - Reed


Rachel Mcadams (35) - Sue


Jake Abel / or / Hunter Parrish(26) - Johnny


Mark Valley (49) - Ben


an, If I had to put together a young cast? (ideally I wouldn't, but)

John Francis Daley- Reed


Rooney Mara (with blonde hair)_ Sue


I'd probably just keep my Johnny suggestions (since he was younger)

for Ben/Thing...? maybe Benjamin Walker (those he's like 30-31 now)


Gaspard Ulliel - Dr. Doom

 

[EssayM]

Not bad.

 

[justanotherguy]

My MCU F4 has actors with comedic chops
Jon Hamm- Reed
Malin Ackerman- Sue
Timberlake would be the ideal Johnny Storm.

Ben is obviously the one where you can go in any direction-Peter Berg, Mark Whalberg, Alec Baldwin, Ethan Hawke, Nick Offerman, Mark Valley, etc.


I think Offerman would be great in the role(especially with the Yancy Street gang and opposite Timberlake and Hamm).

All four of these would be great because they could fit in almost anywhere in an MCU film.

For Doom, I think Nikolaj Coster-Waldau is an ideal casting choice.

Lets get a sequel to the Roger Corman movie YEAH

 

[LoganGambit87]

i have never seen such forum with so many what i would do instead threads before anything is released lol

 

[Donut]

This is the most hated Fan Boy movie since Catwoman, Daredevil, Elektra. Of course its gonna get this treatment

 

[Mysteryman]

From my own point of view ,
This cast has not failed yet .
If it bombs , I might be interested in recasting.
We shall see .

 

[bubbadoom]

I said teenage FF. If Trank has to deal with it, we should too.

Trank's cast is late 20's to early 30's - hardly "teenage"...

 

[metaphysician]

Trank's cast is late 20's to early 30's - hardly "teenage"...

How many teenage characters are actually played by teenagers?

 

[Jordacar]

It recently occurred to me that Sean Maher and Jewel Staite would make a really awesome Reed & Sue. Plus, it'd be such a relief to cast two people who we already know have great chemistry.

 

[RAE072]

my older, age appropriate, cast was

Anson Mount (40) - Reed


Rachel Mcadams (35) - Sue


Jake Abel / or / Hunter Parrish(26) - Johnny


Mark Valley (49) - Ben

Done. And then Mads Mikkelsen(48) as Doom and you've got a fantastic LOOKING Fantastic Four movie.

Oh man, this really bums me out.

 

[Fincher]

Teen Sue: AnnaSophia Robb

 

[Mr. Fixit]

Mr. Fantastic

Thing

Invisible Woman

Human Torch

 

[Hidan]

Hmm teenage casting, a bit different but what the heck.

Reed - Daniel Radcliffe
Ben - Jonah Hill
Sue - Emily Kinney
Johnny - Josh Hutcherson

This was really difficult because I was trying to imagine them young when in most iterations they're usually on the older side, so I can't even come to think of what a good teenage cast would look like. But there you go, those are my picks.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

Patrick Wilson - Reed Richards
Joel Edgerton - ben grimm
Dave franco or zac effron - johnny storm
Elizabeth banks - sue storm

Eric bana - Dr. Doom

 

[Harry Dresden]

Better or worse?

Reed Richards - Colin Hanks

Ben Grimm - Seth Rogen

Human Torch - Dan Stevens

Invisible Woman - Michelle Williams

Dr. Doom - Charlie Hunnam

 

[Jordacar]

I could honestly see all those working except for Hunnam.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

Hunnam for doom is so...strange of a choice lol. Wouldn't work imo.
